It won't bring any trouble to you or Mr. Burke." Colt quickly lowered his head, responding, “Yes, malam." Soon after, Colt drove Sophie to the Devins' residence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Devins were over the moon with the contract they had just secured. When the housekeeper saw Sophie arriving, she promptly went inside to inform the Devins, who all straightened their faces upon hearing the news. Moms frowned, "What's she doing here?" "Honey, maybe we should just send her away. She's James' wife. Surely, she's in league with the Burkes!" "You're right, send her away!" Just as Moms finished speaking, Calla suddenly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, maybe we should let Ms. Sophie in." "You naive child, what do you know? She's definitely here to plead on behalf of the Burke family!" "That's not true. It was Sophie who remindedtand again to ask for this contract. Without her, would we have had the courage to approach the Devins for money? Maybe she's here to help us as well." Morris then nodded, saying, "If that's the case, then let her in. I want to see what the Burke family's daughter- in-law is really here for!" Once Morris gave the word, the housekeeper quickly ushered Sophie in.
Mom's noticed Sophie calone, he put on airs, and said, "We're just a modest family, Mrs. Burke. It's quite a bother for you to call this way. If you're here to intercede on behalf of Bea Burke, then we have nothing to discuss." "Mr. Devins, I haven't even spoken yet, and you've already made your decision. Isn't that a bit premature?" Sophie smiled.
Calla's mother Paige stood up and approached her, saying, "Ms. Sophie, I wonder if you remember me. We've met before" Sophie smiled back, saying. "Mr. and Mrs. Devins, you are quite the model couple. I've heard much about you, and we've indeed met a few times.
Paige nodded, saying, "Calla toldthat it was thanks to your help that she was able to secure the contract without being bullied by the Burkes. I owe you my thanks, Ms. Sophie." "No need for thanks. I was also doing it for myself." Sophie then took a box out of her bag and opened it, revealing a sapphire ring inside. Paige, who knew her jewels, was instantly captivated. "This, this is..." "This is something Bea askedto give to you. It's said to be a royal ring from a century ago." The Devins' eyes sparkled at the mention, and it was clear How precious a century-old royal artifact could be. Paige held it in her hand, examining it closely "This looks like it could be worth millions...” "So, Bea intends to use this as a debt settlement. I've brought this over to discuss a business deal with you." Realizing Sophie was here for business, everyone becserious. Morris asked sternly, "So, Mrs. Burke, you're speaking on behalf of the Burke family?" "Not at all. If I were speaking for the Burke family, I wouldn't have advised Ms. Calla on how to protect her own interests in the first place." Paige, puzzled, asked, “Then Ms. Sophie, you are here because..." "I'm here to ask what you three think of this ring." "Think?" Paige glanced at Morris, then managed a strained smile. "We're just a humble family. Since the ring is of such high value, of course, we have no objections to accepting it” Seeing Paige satisfied, Sophie turned to Morris, asking, "Mr. Devins, do you agree?" "If the ring can be sold, it would certainly bring in a substantial amount of money. I have no objections." Momis, a small-tbusinessman, acknowledged that he couldn't eam as much as the ring's worth in half a lifeume. Thus, he acquiesced.

Heaning Sophie's words, Paige looked puzzled, asking, "Ms. Sophie, what do you mean? The ring is in good condition. Why would it be hard to sell? The ning seemed of high quality, and given its century-old provenance, it would surely fetch a good price, st sugden.

Sophie smiled, saying, "Paige, it seems you're not quite familiar with O the jewelry market. Even if the sapphire is precious, it's only suitable for collection. Without the right buyer, it could end up being a loss." "This..
